Winemaker's Notes

Our robust Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon features ripe cherry aromas followed by licorice and sweet oak. The layered palate features bright red fruits with a bold framework of structured tannins. The depth of flavor is underscored by a long finish.

Sippity Sup Review

https://www.sippitysup.com/austerity-cabernet-sauvignon-2014/

"This eminently drinkable wine has some bite from its integrated tannins and moderate acid, but the main attraction is the bouncy red fruit. Paired with Greg’s steak, the spicy sweet melange of ripe cherry and licorice complements the allspice and cocoa elements in the rub. The char, the fat, the juicy, spicy, chewy meatiness of the dish would support a Bordeaux at ten times the price, but in this case Austerity is a good strategy– you could have it nine more times!"

Food & Wine Review

"This 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles delivers powerful aromas of red berries, red licorice and hints of new oak and vanilla spice. Bright and juicy with sweet red raspberry and black cherry fruit. Good acidity on the finish, with just a hint of mocha."
